I wanted to add some more to my brake impression.
Been riding the Tektro 720s for a bit longer. You can take the Riv
evaluation (on their site) as gospel. The brakes are strong, they modulate
really well and they are good looking. If you are running mid-40s tires and
want something that is
I think the 720's are great if you swap pads to Kool Stop. The CX-70 are
also great even with the stock shimano pads. I actually like the Shimano
straddle wire thing but I couldn't use it on the front because of the nitto
rack strut.

Not quite - 8.4's are meant for SRAM, cx9's are meant for Shimano. My dad
runs cx9's with Ultegra brifters. They work better than my SRAM/cx8.4
combo.

What type of brake levers are you planning on running?
The motolites that Paul recommended are long pull, all the others are short
pull. The mini motos are designed so you can run a linear pull brake with
an sti or other short pull lever without using an adapter. Unless you're
running short
To share some information, since I suspect as the new Compass fat tires get
adopted, folks will have brake questions... My initial concern was clearing
P65 fenders.
I emailed Riv and Paul Industries. Brian at Riv, reco'd Shimano CX 70s.
Says he has them on 3 cycles. Paul Price was kind enough
Och! Disregard everything I previously said. I should have looked up the
names of the brakes. I do not have the rakes being talked about there (I
have canti's) and thus have no business chiming in. My apologies!

For what it's worth, I have TRP CX8.4's and they just brely clear
continental 35mm file-treads with some planet bike fenders. The brake cable
actually touches the fender. They are 8.4cm tall. Thinking I'll sell them
because they have such limited fender clearance.
Not to derail this...
The new bicycle quarterly mentions the new tires but they are not on the
website yet. There is a 26 x 55, 650b x 48, 700 x 35, and 26 x 32.
On the brake thing, I have the cx70's on my hunqapillar with 2.1 smart sams (no
fenders). Plenty of clearance, obviously. I've had some issues getting the
Thanks. That's a good question. At the moment the bike has Continental
Touring tires. I'm guessing they are 40s or thereabouts. But I am pretty
sure the end game for this Atlantis will be one of the Compass 26 fatties.
So big clearance is the main concern.
Took the bike out for an early am
Great point, Tom. Will -- I tested it out on my Quickbeam, so the tires
were 38mm MSO's. There was a LOT of clearence, but then there is a big
difference between 38 and 55 mm. Sardonic grin. So I don't know if it would
work, but seems close and a notch cut out of the fender seems doable.

Hey Will,
It will probably depend on the tyres and stud placement to some degree. My
guess, without actually knowing your setup, is that any tyres that require
65 mm fender are going to be too big for a 'cyclocross' mini V-brake. I
tried full-size V-brakes with 60 mm Big Apples and 60 mm
the fattest tires I've ever seen MiniMotis get around were 700x45. I think
26x2.00 plus fenders is too much for MiniMotos

I guess what I am driving at is can mini-motos clear the P65s? And
secondly, are the touring cantis better or worse than the mini-moto
side-pulls.
I am having a great time with this Atlantis. Wow. What a bike.

I just held up a pair of 65mm fenders from Planet Bike and yes, they will
clear the mini-motos.

I love my Mini-Motos on the front of my QB and would love to have them on
the rear too (the set I bout came with Touring Canti's for the rear). Good,
solid, smooth stopping power.
